Merle Haggard: Kern River Lyrics
I’ll never swim kern river again.
It was there that i met her.
It was there that i lost my best friend.
And now i live in the mountains.
I drifted up here with the wind.
And i may drown in still water,
But i’ll never swim kern river again.
I grew up in an oil town,
But my gusher never came in.
And the river was a boundary
Where my darlin’ and i used to swim.
One night in the moonlight
The swiftness swept here life away.
And now i live on lake shasta and
Lake shasta is where i will stay.
There’s the south san joaquin,
Where the seeds of the dust bowl are found.
And there’s a place called mount whitney
From where the mighty kern river comes down.
Well, it’s not deep nor wide,
But it’s a mean piece of water my friend.
And i may cross on the highway,
But i’ll never swim kern river again
It was there that i met her.
It was there that i lost my best friend.
And now i live in the mountains.
I drifted up here with the wind.
And i may drown in still water,
But i’ll never swim kern river again.
I grew up in an oil town,
But my gusher never came in.
And the river was a boundary
Where my darlin’ and i used to swim.
One night in the moonlight
The swiftness swept here life away.
And now i live on lake shasta and
Lake shasta is where i will stay.
There’s the south san joaquin,
Where the seeds of the dust bowl are found.
And there’s a place called mount whitney
From where the mighty kern river comes down.
Well, it’s not deep nor wide,
But it’s a mean piece of water my friend.
And i may cross on the highway,
But i’ll never swim kern river again
